Shannon and David Beador filed for divorce in 2017, which is why it was particularly hard for Shannon to find out that David had already moved on that same year. "I found out two days after it was all over social media that David has a new girlfriend that is almost 20 years younger than him," Shannon said in the Season 13 premiere of Real Housewives of Orange County, according to Us Weekly. "It's understandable that at some point he's going to move on, but to know that I'm so easily replaceable within a couple months, it hurt and I cried a lot," she continued. "She's one of 3,000 young girls that want some guy to take care of her," she said, referring to Lesley Cook, who married David in 2020.
Lesley is now in the middle of her own divorce from David. After 23 months of marriage, David filed for divorce in September 2022. Amidst the online uproar, Lesley claimed that David withdrew the filing, although that was not reflected in public court records (via Page Six). "My husband filed a request for dismissal a few days ago. Now back to your regular programming," she'd said on an Instagram story. However, regular programming was interrupted only a few days later when Lesley decided to file for divorce from David. "While this is not what I would have ever expected, it is what is best," Lesley wrote in a post, per People.
